for your convenience. Trained library staff and assistants will be glad to assist the pupil
in finding what he or she needs and wants.
There are a few library regulations. Those in effect have been found necessary if the
library is to serve the greatest number most effectively. Briefly, the regulations are as
follows:
1.
All general reference books (encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.) are to be used in
the reading room and are never to be taken out without special permission from
the librarian. There are a few sets of encyclopedias and dictionaries that may be
checked out.
2.
All other books may be checked out for two weeks and may be renewed one
time.
3.
Lost or damaged books must be paid for. Students are responsible for the care
of all books checked out. Fines of five cents per day may be assessed against
anyone who might keep books out after the "due date."
4.
All students with overdue books are expected to return books well in advance
of final examinations at mid-term and at the end of the school year.
5.
Library periods for classes will be followed.
Meetings of Non-Curriculum Related Groups
Students may be permitted to meet with non-curriculum related groups during the hours
designated by the principal before and after school.
SEARCHES
When school officials have reasonable cause to believe a student has in his/her
possession any object or thing in violation of school rules and that the possession thereof
constitutes an immediate threat to the welfare and safety of the other students or to the
order and discipline of the school, those officials shall have the right to make a
reasonable search of the student or the student's property. Desks, lockers, and other
places owned or controlled by the school district shall be considered jointly shared by the
student and school district, and the school officials shall have the right to search such
places when they have reasonable cause to believe that objects or things prohibited on
school premises by the policies or by law are in areas to be searched. School officials
may take possession of any object of a search if it is in open view of the school officials.
Trained dogs may be used to sniff cars, lockers, and classrooms. The response of a
trained dog to a locker, car, or a student's personal possessions provides reasonable cause
for a search of the locker, car, or personal possessions.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
The district provides special programs for gifted and talented students, homeless students,
students with limited English proficiency, dyslexic students, and students with
disabilities. The coordinator of each program can answer questions about eligibility
